World Wise Web

The preview


Listen Later

From GPS to Google search, meet the innovators and engineers who shape our digital world. Teenagers from around the globe talk to the tech pioneers who have changed our lives.

Hosted by 17-year-old Anna Zanelli – herself a budding designer from London – we find out about the trials, errors, incredible hard work and sometimes just plain luck that made some of the most important digital inventions possible. And in the process of describing how they achieved their goals, we hear some words of wisdom for a new generation of innovators. Using the BBC and other archives we’ll also hear journalists, experts and the public talking at the time, giving their first reaction when the technology was launched.
Episode one is available Friday 10 January 2020. #WorldWiseWeb
